Due to some reasons, if there is a huge fall in the population of species of butterflies, what could
be its likely consequence/consequences?
1. Pollination of some plants could be adversely affected.
2. There could be a drastic increase in the fungal infections of some cultivated plants.

(a) 1 only
(b) 2 and 3 only
(c) 1 and 3 only
(d) 1, 2 and 3
Population Interaction
Intraspecific Interactions is the most strongest and severe type of interaction because members
of the same species have same requirement such as food, shelter and same structural, functional
and behavioural adaptations.
Penicillium Fungi secretes penicillin which inhibit the growth of Staphylococcus Bacteria
- Parthenium – Transcinnamic Acid is secreted by Parthenium which inhibit the growth of some
plants
- Sunflower, Barley, Sorghum, Occimum sanctum
- Silver Oak – Autopathy – destroy its own seeds
Amensalism - Allochemics
2. Depressants – Chemical which kill or inhibit the growth of other animal eg. Penicillin
3. Kairmons – Chemicals secreted by one organism which benefit the another organism eg.
Nematodes in soil – stimulate the growth of Fungi.
Predation
- Ectoparasites
- Endoparasites
- Brood Parasites
Competition
Scavenging – Association in which one partner is called Scavenger or Saprobiont, eats the dead
bodies of other animals, which have died naturally or killed by another animal.
Helotism – Association in between two organism, when one behaves as a master and another as
slave.
